Ben goes hiking without me!

This orchid was growing right in front of the lodge, where there weren't as many mosquitoes! :)

Okay, so I'll admit it... I was utterly defeated by the mosquitoes while in the Amazon! How demoralizing to be so frightened of a small flying insect! These photos are from a morning where I couldn't bring myself to go hiking, so Ben and Christian went back out to the Kapok. They saw some really neat things!
